Aviators,
As most of you would be aware, Jabiru have recently released JSL002-2 updating the recommended carby jetting for 2200 & 3300 engines. In the service letter, recommended air/fuel mixture ratios (Lamda) are given for various engine RPM. I decided rather than "play" musical jets, I would purchase a Lambda meter and measure my air/fuel mixture ratios. I made up a proforma using the Jabiru recommended Lamda values as my reference, fitted the Lamda meeter and went flying. Fig 1 shows the readings with the original jetting of 250 Main and 285 Needle jets. (3300 engine) If you look at the graph in fig 1, it shows the engine running lean in cruise. I then fitted the mid range jets as recommended in the Jabiru Service Letter (255 Main & 290 Needle) and the results are shown in fig 2. I now burn 3 l/hr more and find CHT much lower on the ground, in cruise and climb.
Hope this is of some help!
